Four people were injured Tuesday night in a two-car collision on Highway 99 South. Both cars ended upside down.

The collision occurred at about 10:40 p.m. in the 2300 block of 99, just south of the Alaskan Way Viaduct.

According to the Seattle Police, a Honda Civic was going southbound at a high rate speed when it collided with a Mitsubishi Mirage, which was also going southbound.

The impact send the Honda veering off the highway; it came to rest upside down on the railroad tracks west of the roadway. The Mitsubishi ended upside down in the road.

The driver of the Honda, who was alone in the car, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. Three people in the Mitsubishi were taken for treatment at area hospitals; all were said to have non-life threatening injuries.

Southbound 99 was closed for several hours.
Generally speaking, when one is in an accident involving a motor vehicle, there are certain rules of thumb to follow:

• Do not give a recorded or written statement.
• Take photographs of the property damage and have them developed at once. Take photographs at the scene with your cell phone to show the property damage in the street and where the cars end up after the initial impact and collision before you move your car. Do not use a Polaroid.
• Do not sign anything without a lawyer reviewing it first!
• Do not discuss any matters concerning your injuries with the at-fault insurance company. You are under no obligation to give this information and should discuss nothing but the damage to your car and the need for a rental car or “loss of use” compensation. Remember to be on guard for the clever insurance adjuster who may try to trap you into giving an incomplete statement. Simply do not discuss the accident with the claims adjuster.
